Best game has FIFA and Limbo and not RDR?? Yeah, I don't really respect BAFTA to award video games...

Heavy Rain gets an innovation award for ripping off Shenmue?

You either didn't play Heavy Rain or didn't play Shenmue.

Sport games are MUCH more popular than you might think, I would choose Fifa 11 over RDR anyday sorry

Agreed. Pretty sure FIFA 11 has sold a lot more than RDR here in UK.

Fine, by all means, everybody likes different things, and I love fifa as well. But as this is an award, and therefore is supposed to be objective. And objectively, can't we all agree that RDR is better?

Glad that Creed Brotherhood is getting nods, as it thoroughly deserves it.
I'll be fighting in that corner all night.......if there was an actual fight involved.

 

[Captain Pirate]

No RDR Nominations? At all?! The fuck, BAFTA.

Also, which narn bread head nominated bioshock 2, and COD for best story :S

The ones who thought they had good stories?

I would agree with them on Black Ops, I can't comment on Bioshock 2 because I haven't played it, but I loved Black Ops' story. It was very good, and had a very interesting and well-done twist. No one was expecting that shit.

Plus, I haven't heard bad things about Bio 2 as much as 'It wasn't as good as 1', or that it was unneeded. I never heard of it being a bad game though.

As much as I do love RDR, great game, I do find myself playing Fifa more
I do think that RDR should have been nominated as well though.

 

[izzidore]

I guess no-one here keeps up with the news. Rockstar withdrew RDR themselves because GTAIV did not win any awards from BAFTA when it was released. BAFTA did not choose not to nominate one of the biggest games of the year.

 

[Awexsome]

Wow.

Blops up for nominations in Use of Audio, Artistic Achievement, and Story while Reach isn't?

I'm not saying either game wouldn't necessarily be the best out of those categories, particularly Artistic Achievment and Story... but Use of Audio nominates Blops with Reach not even a showing?

For that matter why isn't Reach nominated for Best original music? Good to see AC: Brotherhood getting some love but clearly they just stuck in Blops in some categories it didn't deserve because it was the most popular.
